The public, however, should not be deceived by such tactics. | has driven him away from meddling with national affairs. | York compels his paper there to refrain from supporting Tammany and its support of | ministration! These candidates are still in the field The bosses ng for ther as they can without en- ngering the few remaining chances of electing there remains a danger that d conseque y be clected 1s y to the corporations which Herrin so to Burns and to Gunst. A victory for not only the granting of undue ns, and the looting of the city ze scale, but it would also mean the surrender of the city into the hands of those who n to It would mean a renewal of he reopening of poolrooms and the | on. In short, it would se suppression cost the city | contest in the past. that Dan Burns, Sam Rainey, Burke have formed a combi- nation to support the ticket which Herrin and his cor- porations dictated to the so-called Republican con- ve united to do politics, and . will consist in doing San nated for Supervisors a of whom are utterly unknown They are men who in office will y than that of doing the bidding has said they could do no e, because the charter will prevent. The people, however, know better, Once in office that gang would do every harm that is included in the phrase, “2 wide-open town.” We have had 2 long fight in this city against Ingle- | side track gambling, zgainst downtown poolrooms and against side-entrance saloons, The ‘people are well aware of the manifold evils which emanated from | hose sources. They can recall the records of the and the crimi courts, showing a long and I those evils wh d so t for n Mose Gunst and J to the city at ]z have no other g of the bosses harm in ever lengthening line of crimes ranging from petty thefts to murder or suicide, which were due to the temptati and the degradations of the various kinds Therefore, when Mr. Wells says the corporation ticket for Supervisors can do no harm the people do not t ¢ him. The decent and intelligent people of San Francisco know full well that if the city be s Dan Burns and Mose Gunst desire, the ar of harm done will be so great that it will affect all conditions of society and. bring loss anff sorrow and even shame and ruin to many a home. The voters of San Francisco can afford to take no chances with the Supervisor ticket. We have fiow in office 2 Board of Supervisors that Mr. Wells hipiself has described as the best he has known in San Fran- cisco in forty years. It has been honest and it has been efficient. Most of its members have been re- nominated. They ought to be re-clected. They are pledged to no corporations and they will be the crea- tures of no bosses. What they have done in the past is the best guarantee of what they will do in the fu- ture. Between them and their opponents on the Her- rin ticket it is a plain issue between good government and a gamblers’ government. Dan Bufns and Mose Gunst are not unknown in this city, and the gang they support is 2 gang that honest men will distrust. e r—— — According to the Boston Globe the “Philosophical Anarchists” of that city are thinking of changing their name, but it would be better if they would also THE EXAMINER'S PURPOSE. T is now plainly seen by all men that since Mr. Hearst came here to personally direct the course of his paper, it is supporting Schmitz for Mayor and giving the influence of its political department to the ticket and policy which he represents. Mr. Hearst does not live in California, and keeps in hiding when he visits here. His paper is responsible for many things inimical to the interests of this city. It put the first bitterness and spirit of violence into the late strike, for that purpose coining as a pretext some flagrant lies about Mr. Symmes and, in general, about the merchants, manufacturers and business men of San Francisco. It drew the boycott as a weapon ot vengeance and incited disr'espect for law and order. It assailed the police from Chief to roundsmen, supported the prosecution of members of the force who did thgir duty in maintaining order, and furnished an object lesson of what may be expected if it and the lawless agitators succeed in securing control of the city and the power to direct its ad- ministration. Its ferocious slanders of every man who has business investments here and is part of the commercial force of San Francisco, trying to hold the position of this city as the metropolis of the coast and to increase the lead it has ahead of its competitors, are fresh in the memory ot men. : That paper balanced with some skill in its action upon the issues of the coming election until the arrival of Hearst. hen it threw off the mask and is so openly urging the Schmitz ticket that Schmitz himself has found it necessaryto deny that he secured its sup- port by promising that it should have control of his patronage if he is elected. This denial amounts to nothing, since such a promise would, under the law, vitiate his election if he succeed in getting a plurality of the votes. His denial is therefore formal and for the pur- pose of saving the legal point and protecting the title to the office which he hopes to secure at the polls. Everybody knows that the formality of a promise is not required in such cases. Everybody knows that if Mr. Hearst succeed in electing Mr. Schmitz the Examiner will dictate and direct the official course of Mr. Schmitz. What will be done then is no secret. It was declared in the Schmitz meeting on Tuesday night. Chief Sullivan will be expelled from the headship of the Police Depart- ment, and Captain Wittman and every captain, sergeant and member of the force who by protecting person and property saved the city in the late strike and excited the ire of the Examiner will be put off the force. The murderers of Rice and the other support- ers of Schmitz who are waiting trial for their savage crimes during the strike will go free. The police must prosecute these men and the police force will be reorganized against such prosecution. Mr. Hearst is here, then, to set free red-handed murderers, to reorganize the police on the basis of non-enforcement ¢f the iaw. He is here to strike a foul blow at the prosperity and progress of San Francisco and to give the city a back- set that will shrink its business and dwarf it for years to come. F The roar of indignation that went up from the clergy, colleges and homes of the United States when his invitation to assassinate the President was accepted by Czolgosz The local situation in New | Low would not be permitted, so it is doing its Sally Ann and Simple Simon editorial stunt, while a great fight rages around it, and Hearst comes here to treat San Francisco as a dog to try poison on. He has no dollar invested in the business of this city.. His papér is an investment, it is true, but it is to prey upon the business of others. His hope to control the police under Mayor Phelan was defeated. His plan was too rank. When it failed he blacklisted the Mayor, the president of the Police Board and the Chief of Police. The election of Tebin will not enable him to wreak vengeance upon those who foiled him and at the same time grasp the power for which he lusts. The election of Schmitz will open the way to accomplish his purpose and his paper, therefore, is promot- ing Schmitz’ fortunes. A class government for this city would be bad enough, it would be hard enough to bear for reaseas inherent in such government itself. But when such government carries under its fangs Hearst and the Examiner as the poison with which it strikes at law and personal liberty, the situation becomes so serious that the city may well be alarmed, Let every man recall the expressions of the Examiner during the strike and seriotisly ask himself what will occur if those utterances become the policy of a city ad- Haviag lost his prestige by the popular resentment of- his course toward President McKinley, and being outlawed- by the thinking people and good citizens_of the whole country, he seeks to become the leader of the lawlessnéss and discontent ot the country by securing control of the government of this city. Of course.he will injure his dupes and will undo such laboring men as take his ad- vice. Hundreds of families are still suffering here because he counseled their heads un- wisely, The mothers, wives and children of the murdered are in sorrow and will be in want as a result of his appeals to the spirit of murder and disorder. The wounded, with bruised bodies and.broken bones, are still lying helpless in hospitals or in their homes, and there are others advised by him who go about with crime upon their souls. They were upright men before he tempted them, and now they do not look their fellow-men in the eye. He caused them to stain their hands with blood. Do men with property and families realize that if he accomplish the purpose for | which he came here to lurk in hiding, the area of violence will be enlarged? During the late strike his dupes, inspired by him with recklessness and violence, entered the homes of laboring men who desired to support their families by work, and in the presence of their wives threatened them with death if they attempted to work. At this moment men dare not go before the Grand Jury to testify against the criminals he encouraged for fear that Rice’s fate may be theirs. The law is helpless and Justice is hamstrung by the still existing reign of terror which he inspired. Let him get control of the government of the city and ruffians will visit business men and employers in their homes, to threaten death as the penalty of resisting any demand that his associates, the agitators, may make, We see the law failing now because witnesses are threatened with murder. How will it be when the barbaric. sentiments uttered in Tuesday’s meeting for the Hearst- Schmitz ticket are emblazoned in the City Hall as the principles of the municipal gov- ernment? It is time for buginess men to assume the offensive against Hearst and his poison paper and nefarious influence. It is time to repudiate a man who dare not walk openly the streets’ of the city where he was born. It is time to end any form of vassalage to a non-resident conspirator against the peace and prosperity of San Francisco, who larks hidden in the hills like a bandit watching a chance to sack the town. INCE Mr, Wells was asked to answer some wanted to lie down? Whe made you swallow the chane their thoughts and their associations. S questions of vital impqnance to the people, he has continued {o make speeches. ‘On Wednes- day evening he spoke twice. You are aware, Mr, Wells, that you were requested to tell why you stayed on the ticket when you said you would get off. You will remember that the peo- ple asked you to teil who made you stay on, who made you support a Supervisor ticket that you said was unfit for support. The people asked you how you stood on the municipal issues of interest to them, They expected your answer on Wednesday night, You spoke twice, and in your first speech you an- swered these important questions by saying; *I feel that I am either at home or very near home, for I-own a large house right up the avenue here. I don't live in it just now, but I did live in it for some time.” Now, really, Mr. Wells, does that large house an- swer the questions that are put to you? The people ask a question and you answer with a house “up the avenue.” Nobody said that you did not own a house up the avenue. No one denied that it is a large house, and if you will tell how many rooms are in it the num- ber will be admitted. You need not offer the house as a witness, for the people will admit all it can testify to. We grant that it is a house; that it is a large house up the avenue; that it is a large house up the ave- nue, where you used to live, but where you don't live now. If you will mention the color of the house we will admit it in order to get on with the case. After you had sworn your large house as a witness you had another chance. You went to another meet- ing the same night. The questions of the people fol- lowed yott Who made you stand up when' you Supervisor ticket? How do you stand on the fran- chises? In that second meeting, Mr, Wells, with these questions ringing in your ears, you rose and answered them by saying, “This is quite a distance from the northern part of the town, T find.” Now, really, Mr, Wells, was that an answer? Is it not a fact that all places distant from each other are not as near as other places not so distant? We ad- mit that it is quite a distance from the northern to the southern part of the town, and your admirers are glad that you were able to notice it, but why do you play the two ends of the town against the middle as an an- swer to the questions of the people? What has that distance to do with your ultimatum, with refusing Flint a place on the ticket, and your swallowing the Superyisor ticket? Mr. Wells, you may be arte- sian, but your answers to these questions are not deep. They don't seem to apply; they are not sat- isfactory to the people. You answer in architecture, veal estate and furlongs, when the people want to know something that cannot be told in the terms of cither, Linear measure, fifty-vara Jots and large houses are incffensive in themselves, but they are not issues in this campaiga, You have until Monday night to answer what the people ask Please, Mr. Wells, cease retrospection and reminiscence, revery and irrelevance, and answer those questions. It is worth noting that the spread eagle orators of the coun;ry are no longer speaking of the republic as extending from Florida to Cape Nome, but from “Maine to Manila.” MISS WU ES INITIA MAKSAN FRANCISCO SOCIETY IN RETTY little Miss Wu Ching Ling, P the adopted daughter of Mme. Wu, wife of Minister Wu, has made her initial bow into San Francisco so- clety. No fair soclety bud, fresh from a Nob Hill seminary, could have de- ported herself with more becoming grace under the circumstances. = Ho Yow, the Chinese Consul, “with charity to all and malice toward none,” had decreed that thosé who were anxious to see Miss Wu could have a personal in- terview with the young lady at the con- sulate on Btockton street at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. At the appointed hour several ladies were present. A num- ber of artists and six latest improved cameras were formidably arranged in a row suggestive of the new guns that were recently placed in position at the entrance to the Golden Gate. ‘With a pattering of little feet and sup- pressed laughter as a befitting overture Miss Wu was led into the room by her adopted mother. The child was deathly rale and appeared to realize tha enormity of the situation. She was directed to a chair by Mme. Wu and allowed to re- gain her composure. In the meantime the women folks were taking in the child’s costume from head to toe. Miss Wu's hair was arranged with much skill. It was Guaintly plastered down and in the front there was a jaunty part. The end of her hair was plaited and gathered in a knob just over the right ear. She wore a gor- geous blouse of pink, yellow, black and wkite. After the young lady's wardrobe had been thcroughly absorbed she was cross- examined by the interested visitors. Mme. ‘Wu kindly acted as interpreter, but after a time the wife of the able Chinese diplo- mat decided that she would answer the questions herself. “Please ask her if she can dance?” said a visitor, addressing Mme. Wu. As Miss Wu has a foot only about three inches long Mme. Wu took it upon herself to answer the question and said “No.” “Do ask Miss Wu what her favorite dress is,” was the next interrogation. Mmi€. Wu stated that her daughter was then and there wearing her favorite cos- tume. In this manner the questions were plied and answered by ‘Mme. Wu. The young lady sat silent with her eyes cast down and apparently felt that the sooner the recention was over the bet- ter. ¥o Yow, who acted as master of cere- monies, hurried the camera fiends. Snap- shots were taken of Miss Wu, and with a look of relief she toppled off upstairs lean- ing on the arm of her servant. * Miss Wu's debut thus became history. @ i @ ANSWERS TO QUERIES. DOLLARS—M.
